the lowdown:
Make sure to take out the steak from the fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking so that it may cook evenly when it hits the pan. Preheat your cast iron or pan on high. Take out any moisture from the steaks wiith a paper towel on both sides. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper on both sides of the steak and pat down so it grasps the steak. When you see some smoke the pan is ready. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil and Drop your steaks on the pan. Make sure not to overcrowd. 5 minutes on each side for medium. Remove the steaks and place on a plate making sure to let the steak rest 5-10 minutes. Pour half a cup of honey bourbon away from the fire and flambe. Add a tablespoon of butter and scrape up all of the bits from the pan. Let reduce in half on medium low heat until thick. Slice thin a fan onto a plate and pour reduction over the steaks. Mix the greens with corn and drizzle balsamic vinegar on top. Finish off with salt and pepper. Eat!
